Instead of having the demon lair levels unconditionally no-teleport,
grant demon lords and princes the ability to suppress teleportation
in Gehennom on the level they are on.
Mounting a steed while legs are wounded would offer to cure them
but wasn't going through the heal_legs() routine so didn't update
the status line when Wounded_legs condition is enabled.
Move some common code for describing left/right/both legs into a
new routine used for feedback by jumping, kicking, and ridiing.
For ^X, distinguish between one wounded leg and both but don't
bother with left vs right when it is just one.
The test for whether a migrating object generated as plundered
mine-town loot should be delivered to any orc created and then giving
that orc a bandit name was kicking in for orc mummies and orc zombies
as well as for regular orcs.
Also, the loot could include tins or eggs and their species would
get clobbered by the overloading of obj->corpsenm. During delivery
when the overloading was reset they would become giant ant eggs/tins.
(Not seen in actual play.)
Flag existing occurrences of "You hear" as "Deaf-aware" so
that a grep for that string in the future doesn't need to
trigger further investigation of those.
When kicking an altar, trigger divine wrath (minor: luck or alignment
loss) before deciding whether hero has hurt himself in the process.
Add some variation to the wrath penalty so that it can't be used to
precisely control Luck.
Preserve temporary fake object's previous dknown value by storing it
as a flag value within the m_ap_type field of the posing monster, and
recalling it when it is needed.
This is intended to help eliminate observable differences in price display
between real objects and mimics posing as objects.
98% of this is just switching the code to utilize macro M_AP_TYPE(mon)
everywhere to ensure that the flag bits are stripped off when needed.
Kicking a stack splits off one item (except for gold coins) and
propels it, but the range for how far it would move was calculated
before the split using the entire stack's weight. So a large stack of
small items might fail with "thump" (which the report suggested hurt
the hero, but it doesn't) and none of the stack would move. Splitting
sooner looked complicated because of several potential early returns
between the range calculation and the eventual kick, so this hacks the
stack's quantity to get the intended weight instead.
I did much of this quite some time ago, as prequisite for a different
bug report about monsters vs shades, then set it aside. It ended up
being more complicated than I anticipated.
When deciding whether various non-weapon attacks might hit a shade,
hmonas() was not checking for blessed or silver armor that should have
been applicable. It did check boots when kicking, but not gloves or
rings (when no gloves) when touching, or outermost of cloak/suit/shirt
when hugging, or helmet when head-butting. (The last one is actually
moot because nothing with a head-butt attack is able to wear a helm.)
The problem was more general than just whether attacks might hit and
hurt shades. Various undead and/or demons are also affected by blessed
and/or silver attack but weren't for non-weapon attacks by poly'd hero.
At least two unrelated bugs are fixed: a rope golem's AT_HUGS attack
gives feedback about choking but was fully effective against monsters
which fail the can_be_strangled() test. And it was possible to hug a
long worm's tail, rendering the entire worm immobile.
The report also suggested that all artifacts be able to hit shades for
full effect, but by the time shades are encountered everyone has an
artifact so that would nullify a shade's most interesting ability.
TODO: monster against hero and monster against other monster need to
have similar changes.
Under some circumstances, when all the marauding orcs belonging to the
horde operating within the gnomish mines had been provided with their
spoils and placed appropriately, there could still be some pillaged stuff
left-over on the migrating obj chain. Orcs created by regular monster
generation elsewhere would then be susceptable to receiving that stuff
until it was used up. That part is fine, except that the orcs were then
being named as part of the same horde operating within the mines. Now
they will no longer be named as part of the Gnomish Mines horde.
Mythos: There's a good chance that these particular orcs received the
stolen goods from the Gnomish Mines horde.
Clean up quite a bit of minor things found with simple grep patterns:
operator at end of continued line instead of beginning of continuation
(and a few comments which produced false matches, so that they won't
do so next time), trailing spaces (only one or two of those), tabs (a
dozen or so of those), several casts which didn't have a space between
the type and the expression (I wasn't systematic about finding these).
I think the only code change was in the function for the help command.
Fixes#156
githib issue #156 complains that "The Excalibur falls down the stairs,"
is using poor grammar despite the fact that the usual drop message is
"You drop the +0 Excalibur." I agree. Change it to be "Excalibur
falls down the stairs." (Drop message remains unchanged.)
While looking at that, I noticed that when knocking other items down
stairs, text was being appended to the formatted object name. It was
probably safe due to the space reserved for inserting a prefix while
formatting an object's name, which becomes available for a suffix
after that name has been copied into otransit_msg()'s local buffer,
but using a separate buffer is safer.
Remove trailing spaces, and remove tabs from the files that had
trailing spaces.
Also, rndorcname() was using a random value to terminate a loop
and was recalculating a new one each iteration.
Fixes#134
An invisible hero (who can't see invisible and doesn't have autopickup
enabled) going down stairs to an object which fell down those stairs
will see the stairs instead of the object on them. Missing newsym()
in obj_delivery() when objects aren't being passed through scatter().

This commit is an attempt to address the complaints about
the orc town variation taking away lots of stuff that is
normally available in mine town. The statement in the level
description says "A tragic accident has occurred in Frontier
Town...It has been overrun by orcs."
The changes in this commit attempt to uphold that premise,
while making things a bit more interesting and perhaps
more palatable for the player.
This update does the following in keeping with the mythos:
- While many of the orcs still remain to wander about the
level, many of the orcs took off deeper into the mines with
some of the stuff that they plundered. You may now be
able to hunt some of it down.
- Adds some appearance of this particular horde of marauding
orcs working as part of a larger collective.
- This evolves the Orc Town mine town variation into a
a feature over multiple levels of The Gnomish Mines,
rather than just the single-level "feature" that it was
previously.
- You may have to work longer and a bit harder for some
things than other mine town variations, but at least with
these changes, there is hope that some of it may be found
elsewhere.
Game mechanics notes (maybe spoily?)
- Add mechanism to place objects into limbo (okay, really
place them onto the migrating_objs list for transferring
between levels etc.) and destine them
to become part of the monster inventory of a particular
species. In this particular usage case, it's using the
M2_ORC flag setting to identify the recipients.
- At present, there is no mechanism in the level compiler
for placing objects onto the migrating objects, nor
with more sophisticated landing logic, so a somewhat
kludgy hard-coded fixup and supporting routines were used.
Some day the need for that might change if additional
capabilities move to the level compiler.
This is a NetHack-3.6.2-beta01 update. Please give it a workout.
Fixes#127
Report was for dual-wielding hitting an enchanter and assumed that
a resistant artifact as primary weapon was protecting vulnerable
secondary weapon. Actual reason was simpler.
When in normal form, dual-wielding attacks against creatures which
cause erosion to the weapon which hits them would only inflict the
passive erosion damage to the primary weapon, even if it missed and
secondary hit. Make primary attack always trigger passive counter-
attack--before second swing now, rather than after--even if it misses,
and secondary attack trigger another one if that hits. Both weapons
are now subject to passive erosion (but only when they actually hit);
when secondary weapon hits, hero gets a double dose of counter-attack.
Hero poly'd into a monster with multiple weapon attacks (various
leaders: dwarf lord, orc-captain, and so forth) would try to emulate
dual wielding and first hit with uwep then with uswapwep. But it
would do that even if uswapwep was a bow or stack of darts that the
player had no itention of using for hand-to-hand. Stick with repeat
hits by uwep when uswapwep seems inappropriate.
Splitting a pudding while dual-wielding would only do so when hit by
uwep of appropriate material, never when hit by uswapwep. So silver
saber and longsword could split if longsword was primary but never
split if saber was primary. Check material and splitting separately
for each hit. It's now possible to split twice with one dual-weapon
attack if both weapons hit and both are made of the right material
(iron or 'metal'; among relevant objects the latter is only used for
tsurugi and scapel).
setmangry() and wakeup() were being used for multiple purposes. Add an
extra parameter to track which. This fixes several minor bugs (e.g.
whether monsters with no eyes were angered by (useless) gaze attacks
against them previously depended on the state of a UI option, and
the Minetown guards would be annoyed if you used a cursed scroll of
tame monster on a shopkeeper). It's also a prerequisite for the
Elbereth changes I'm working on.
